Eugene Chelyshev
[edit]- ... that Eugene Chelyshev was the first Russian to be awarded the Sahitya Akademi Fellowship by the Government of India in 2004?

Article and hook length are good with creation just a trivial bit outside the five-day deadline so no problem there. Hook is reliably sourced, no apparent neutrality issues, article does not appear to have any serious paraphrasing or copyvio issues, and QPQ is good. However, I am not seeing appropriate citations for a lot of substantive claims. A large chunk of the material cited to the Russian-language bio does not seem to be supported by the source. This appears to be an issue from the original Russian Wikipedia article. I have moved the citations and added tags to reflect where material is unsupported.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 23:41, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
- The given Russian source in the En wiki does not contain much info. This contains info of most of his military carrer though I am dropping them because he is known for his Indology works and I am struggling with lack of good English source about him. Solomon7968 00:11, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
- I see you removed most of the unsupported material. However, there were also the details about Pushkin and the number of works he authored that do not seem to be supported by citations.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 04:22, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
- Changed the russian reference to above one. Checked through Google translate, all facts are now supported. Solomon7968 05:56, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
All right, that covers it all. That source looks like it could be used to support much of the deleted detail so I would encourage you to consider restoring some of it using that citation, but either way it passes.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 16:08, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
